Hey guys I have a quick question. I checked on Pacesetter's website and their headers are only available for the 81-85 720's. I was wondering if they would be compatible for my 86 TBI engine. If they aren't, what brand is compatible? Thanks again.

as far as i know, there were no differences in bolt pattern off of the head....

do you actually have a 720? or is it the d21? 86.5 is when it changed.... i WANT to say the 720 with a Z24i should be fine... can't say for sure though

Yeah I actually have a 720 haha. I'm guessing they should fit. Do you know of any reliable websites or places that I can order them from. I know Oreilly's used to sell them, but apparently they don't anymore.

i believe the bolt pattern is the same... but the piping after might be different because of where the piping leads on a hardbody vs. a 720

considering you have both... you might know more about the piping aspect differences than us

I think the 4wd and 2wd have different angles.
I know my after market headers for my 240sx hit the steering knuckle in one way or another.
